Godly Obedience in 2005
by truthseeker inyep, "godly obedience" is the theme for this years district convention.. you know the wts will be hot on obedience this year.. expect more wt articles asking for money (as obedience to jehovah), asking for more pioneers and elders, and making this a matter of obedience.. it's getting worse.. at the meeting this week, a whole 25 minutes was taken up on what to do regarding accomodation at the district convention.. brother zealous said if we're not obedient to the instructions that the faithful slave has given us, we undermine the hard work the society puts in to arrange these provisions.. godley obedience means we will attend all three days at our convention.. .
this cult makes me sick.
everything is about jehovah; jesus just does not figure in anything, unless they feel the need to quote a scripture or something.. .

Do you think that JW's will print a "new" book on Revelations?
by booker-t inthe wts has printed several books on revelation since it's inception in 1879. many of the prophecies that were predicted in the studies in the scriptures book failed miserably.
next the two "light" books the same predictions were reworded failed also.
the society tried again with the 60's books then is the finished mystery of god book and the babylon the great has fallen book.

JW ignore you for good reason
by one inthis is not an introduction to sociology, just typing without much reflection.
do you think the wt would survive if they did not shun or ignore "apostates" (or anyone who does not follow the rules), be realistic, jw org is still an small group with survival instincts..
besides ignoring, is a very tipical human trick anyway, or do you think you could be accepted in any private club you want to?

how long disfellowshipped?
by sugarbritches inhi- when someone is disfellowshipped- how do the elders determine the amount of time for the disfellowshipping to last?
my friend- perhaps i should say my ex friend has been disfellowshipped for 3 years- for singing in a small local country band with me- a non-witness.isn't that a bit extreme?
i haven't seen or heard from him in over a year.

Go Back to the Kingdom Hall and Leave Us Alone!
by steve2 inhas anyone else observed or even taken part in the strange phenomenon of defending something even when you have doubts about it?
it's not a new phenomenon; i think freud called it "reactive formation".
i notice every now and then, jws and/or their supporters tentatively surface on the jw discussion board.
